Master in Brain and Cognition

Una de las cosas que me han gustado de la UPF es que suele trabajar en trimestres. Es más estresante pero nos obliga a ponernos a tono y trabajar muy duro desde el primer día. Y con este máster se agradece que sea así.

One of the greatest challenges in science is to explain the human mind. Thanks to the advent of revolutionary brain research methods, great progress in behavioural research techniques and the incredible inventiveness of many researchers, cognitive and neural sciences are finding ways to better approach this problem. The master's programme in Brain and Cognition will guide students through the latest and most exciting findings brought about by the interaction between cognitive research and brain research, furnishing them with the theoretical and practical means to actively participate in this exciting enterprise.
The core of the master's programme is composed of the research groups at UPF's Center for Brain and Cognition. These groups are directed by renowned scientists in areas such as computational neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, vision, multisensory perception, human development and comparative cognition. Students will thus be exposed to the ongoing research projects at the CBC and will be integrated in one of its main research lines, where they will conduct original research for their final project.
At the moment, the Center for Brain and Cognition hosts 7 principal investigators, 28 postdoctorals researchers, 46 doctoral students, 12 master students and a team of technical support. The Center has also been awarded grants and funds by several granting agencies, including the European Union (the Center hosts 2 Avanced ERC grant recipients, 2 ERC Starting grant recipients and participates to several FET Projects), the James S.McDonnell Foundation, the Spanish Ministery for Competition, and several other agencies.

The aim of this master's programme is to offer research-oriented training in various fundamental domains of cognitive neuroscience. The programme faculty's main objective is to provide students with the training they need to understand how a scientific question becomes a topic of experimental research in cognitive neuroscience and how they could carry out this research.
The master's programme will be of interest to psychologists, philosophers, MDs, biologists, linguists, mathematicians or physicists seeking to pursue a career investigating the fascinating question of how the relationship between the mind and the brain enables cognitive functions. While the programme is thus particularly apt for students who want to be trained to do research in cognitive neuroscience, it is also strongly recommended for individuals seeking to enrich their careers by obtaining a solid basis in cognitive neuroscience. Given its research orientation, the level of this one-year master's programme corresponds to the second year of a two-year master's in other international programmes. Students who are interested in the programme but do not have sufficient credits to enrol in a second-year master should contact the coordinator for further information.
